I love my car to death as this is the 1st car i purchased for myself. When i got the car it was an A+ piece of crap but slowly but surely i got it back up to where it ought to be, for the most part anyways.. i got the car in 2009 and now at 2012 and hitting 200k is there anything that i should be looking out for as far as failing such as engine, tranny, etc...
Oh yeah i drive a 95 gle STOCK, AUTO...

Generally failure of trany or engine can be easily prevented by doing oil changes / transmission flushes on time, that being 5K on engine and every 30K miles on the tranny flush.

Look out for the water pump, if it has never been replaced, it might go soon. Spark plugs will need to be done very soon, or now.

routine maintenance... it'll save you in the long run.

Also, if you haven't had an oil analysis done you may want to look into it.

LOL, I did that for the 1st time at 205k. Clean bill of health!

I just bought mine 3 weeks ago. It has 204,500 on it. 1997 SE 5Spd. I have done a few things that mine needed. I had to replace the radiator (it was leaking bad out of the top), and I also replaced both hoses with it. I replaced the power steering belt. I have a few codes from the CEL. One for the knock sensor, the MAP sensor, and an 02 Sensor. Will be tackling those soon. Exhaust is also starting to rust up on me. Probably got many more thousand out of the exhaust though.
